A good introduction

I took the Sylvotherapy Practitioner Certification Course. For an introductory course it was a good value at 70% off but I have several caveats. This is an introduction only and as such I was bothered by the last module focusing on how to advertise and start up a business. You could quite literally be incapable of identifying any tree species in your area before setting up a business. I feel it would have been much more efficient to focus on the role a guide takes and how to facilitate sessions with a diverse population of clients, what being trauma informed means, practicalities of running courses in the woods, off trail, on trail, on public land, on private property, etc, the importance of first aid training, the importance of indigenous local to you tree and forest lore, safe foraging protocols...I could go on. Give us fully cited readings and a bibliography of books to read early on in the course. A lot of the info is from books over 20 years old and/or problematic books that have been challenged both scientifically and by Indigenous communities. The last module really should have laid out the areas that people needed to address as continuing education before they started selling their services. There's a valid reason why without the educational credentials you can't touch the term "therapist" where I live and this will not qualify you to use it. Still with my own background as an educator, with art therapy trainingm and as a wildcrafter with over 30 years experience I did get ideas about transforming my outdoor forest school experiences into things I can share multi-generationally as well as with people in hospice which is what I wanted to be able to do.

Informative and practical At our pace,

I have been busy, but with the forms are good documents to fall back on client facing aspects.

CLIENT AGREEMENT

My experience with the course

Excellent material and increases the focus on God's Word in everything you do.

easy and detailed

HARD READ, BUT IT ALL MAKES SENSE, THEN IT BECOMES EASY. LOVE THE DETAIL

Good Course

A lot of great information. I personally would have enjoyed it more with interactve lessons instead of all reading. Overall, it was a very informative and thorough study.

Somewhat useful

I find it frustrating when things are referenced but not described. An example would be the meridians. If it is important enough to include, then there should be more information. The exhaustive list of meridians without any diagrams renders it useless. Are we supposed to memorize all of the names, but not know where they are? If someone hasn't done a lot of study already, several of the references don't mean anything. The course should be fully self-contained, which means I don't have to consult other resources to understand what is presented.

As a DNA-based health coach, I found this course to be comprehensive and encompassing a wide range of genetics understanding from simple to complex. Informative, thorough, and useful strategies to benefit my practice.

Course review

Great Course and solidified all the important points in being a Christian counselor with empathy and integrity backed by scripture

Enjoyable

This course feels like it is getting it right with what it teaches to be a Christian Life Coach

Very Transcendental!

One of my most favorite units that I taught in my junior English classes was Transcendentalism. I love Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, even so much that in preparation for teaching the unit, I rented a cabin in the woods for a week in the summer while I created my classroom lessons. Now that I am retired, this course has brought me back in touch with Nature and has provided more in-depth information about the science of sylvotherapy.
